Turning necas a second 4th and drury into a first rounder and a prospect plus hall doesn’t seem like a coup to me.

Drury is a 24 yr old Kampf making 1.75 million. Min salary quality roster filler making more than the minimum.

So if the trade ends up returning 1st + Prospect + 8.25 million in capspace to reallocate, it's not a coup but it's probably good business. We can't know for certain that it's more than they were offered for Necas in the summer, but it's probably a good guess that it is.

and again, that's if a very cheap Rantanen (4.6 million AAV) only returns a 1st and a good prospect. That would be less than San Jose got for Meier, and Rantanen is a much higher tier of player than Meier.
 
Tulsky offseason

Current year net rating in brackets

Let go:

Guentzel (+10.3): $9.0 x 7 (30-36) - TBL

Pesce (+1.6): $5.5 x 6 (30-35) - NJD
Teravainen (+2.2): $5.4 x 3 (30-32) - CHI
Noesen (+4.0): $2.8 x 3 (31-33) - NJD
Raanta - RET
Kuznetsov - KHL
Comtois - KHL
DeAngelo - KHL


still looks good overall but maybe not quite as good as it looked early in the year.

this Rantanen trade is his first big trade i think.
 
It would be weird if they didn’t just keep Rantanen, even as a rental. That’s a good team, with no elite scorers and he has 34 goals and 100 points in 80 playoff games.

It’s not like they need picks and prospects. They have one of the best systems and never trade their picks.

Doesn’t really make sense to sell him unless Toronto would trade Marner for him or something like that.
 
ESPN's beef with MLB was that they were selling rights to Apple & Roku on a way cheaper per game basis than ESPN was spending and that TBS was paying about the same per year, but got all of the playoff rights aside from wild card games. Their new NBA deal includes half the games of the first 2 rounds of the playoffs, international rights everywhere aside from Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Christmas games, exclusive Wednesday double headers every week, and a bunch of other prime time spots on Fridays and Sundays. It's a better rights deal, with a better product that gets higher ratings.

Friedman claiming Rantanen might be available again. What the hell was the point for Carolina to do that? I guess that cheap-ass owner didn't want to pay-up.

Are we doing this again? Canes are a max cap team.

The cap is soaring over the course of the next Rantanen contract. There are many teams near the max now that won't be soon.
They traded for Guentzel and he's gone.
Sometimes owners have issues with upfront bonuses. they can't afford it. That's a tough issue for some markets. Maybe Rantanen wants that? Guentzel for instance got a 12.2 million signing bonus the day he signed in Tampa. That owner ain't giving that in Carolina.
Despite all the "Taxes" talk, 12.2 upfront is fantastic. Money now is better than money later.
